redglass77 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hey everyone, I just scored my first Lynx (model 2 in really good condition) with 4games Kung Food Blue Lightning WarBirds Zalor Mercenary also got the carrying case, everything for under 38$ I've heard the first three games I listed are pretty good, but of course now begins the collecting. I know people say good things about Batman Returns and Todds Adventure in Slime World, so I'll be looking to get those at some point. I'm asking what are some other really good Lynx games worth looking into? I'm open to all suggestions thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking what are some other really good Lynx games worth looking into? I'm open to all suggestions thanx I would say the last three games you listed are good, not the first three. I suppose it depends on what game type you like (puzzle, fighting etc) as to what to start collecting. I'd recommend: Desert Strike Checkered Flag Road Blasters Klax Awesome Golf California Games Chips Challenge Crystal Mines II Dracula The Undead Rampart Robotron 2084 Xenophobe Edited February 4, 2009 by im_reg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlezone Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm agree with im_reg, and I add to his list: STUN RUNNER. Also I add MISSILE COMMAND, BATTLEZONE, MS PACMAN if you like earlier games, and other arcade conversions like RYGAR, PAC-LAND, HYDRA, NINJA GAIDEN. You can also find new sealed Xybots at a cheap price, and the game is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

im_reg Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 games to avoid dracula,batman,turbo sub,double dragon,ishido,blockout Dracula is a great game and the only one of it's type on the Lynx. Yeah OK it's not really one you want to go back to after you complete it but first time round it's a fantastic game. Also blockout is very addictive. You just have to give it a little time to learn it as it can become tricky if you don't pay attention or get confused by the 3D aspect. I'd agree with Batman. Although it's worth a play if you have any one else with a Lynx, just so you get a feel for the game. Turbo Sub is OK, I completed it a while back which was fun but again not something I really want to go back to. Double Dragon I can't comment on as I've not got it yet.

Atari_Falcon Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Toki is also a very nice jump and run game... one of my favorite games ever. Would be great to have more games like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I agree - most of those games are poor. For example, Dracula's command interface is very awkward and cumbersome to use.

I consider Casino to be a major bore, and Double Dragon plays quite good (totally different from the crap Atari ST version, much closer to the arcade). Batman Returns should be avoided - I've never seen such a stupid and brutally unfair unfair fighter game. Both Pinball Jam tables are good, not just the Elvira table. Checkered Flag is a top-notch racer on the Lynx (as opposed to the Jaguar game of the same title). Thorsten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I think RoadBlasters has been in my Lynx so log that its fused in the slot. When RoadBlasters is out, either STUN Runner, California Games, or Super Off-Road is in. Just a note about Super Off-Road, it's rare, expensive, and feels incomplete. It does, however, lack the insane difficulty of the Game Gear version, and it has different tracks, which make it the better of the two IMHO. If you can get past the shortcomings, Super Off Road is very playable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
